Hi, my name is Sandra Graham. I am very interested in what motivates people's actions and thoughts. My interests focus on applications of attribution theory to student motivation and peer-directed aggression in at-risk youth. I am currently the Principal Investigator on grants from the National Science Foundation and the W. T. Grant Foundation, and I am an Associate Editor of Developmental Psychology, a member of the National Research Council Panel on Adolescent Health, and a member of the MacArthur Foundation Network on Adolescent Development and Juvenile Justice. I was given the Independent Scientist Award, a former recipient of the Early Contribution Award from Division 15 of the American Psychological Association, and a former Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, Stanford, California. My teaching interests include achievement motivation, attribution theory, motivation in minority groups, social development, adolescent development, risk and resiliency. I am a coauthor to Theories and Principles of Motivation. I received my bachelors in history at Barnard college in 1969, my masters in history at Columbia University in 1970, and my Ph.D. in education at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1982.
